Abstract

A magnetic lampshade frame assembly comprises: a frame device, including upper and lower frames; a hood device, including a hood, a connecting strip separately formed at upper and lower positions of an internal side of the hood, and an external side of the connecting strip being fixed to the hood, and an internal side of the connecting strip being magnetically coupled to the upper frame or the lower frame, and at least one of the connecting strip and the upper frame or at least one of the connecting strip and the lower frame is made of a magnetic material, so as to achieve the effects of saving the material of the lamp, assembling or disassembly a lampshade quickly and conveniently, avoiding damages of a lampshade, providing a secured connection between the hood and the frame, and improving the texture to enhance the added value of the lamp product.

Claims

1. A magnetic lampshade frame assembly, comprising:

a frame device, including an upper frame and a lower frame;

a hood device, including a hood, a connecting strip separately formed at upper and lower positions of an internal side of the hood, and an external side of the connecting strip being fixed to the hood, and an internal side of the connecting strip being magnetically coupled to the upper frame or the lower frame, and at least one of the connecting strip and the upper frame or at least one of the connecting strip and the lower frame is made of a magnetic material.

2. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the upper frame and the lower frame are made of a metallic material or a magnetic material, and the connecting strip is made of a magnetic material or a metallic material correspondingly.

3. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the frame device further includes a link rod seat, and the link rod seat includes a plurality of link rods, and an external end of each link rod is coupled to the upper frame or the lower frame, and an inner end of the link rod is coupled to a lampshade holder, and a through hole is formed at the center of the lampshade holder.

4. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the connecting strip is made of a flexible magnetic material.

5. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the connecting strip and the upper frame and the lower frame are substantially in form of a sheet.

6. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the connecting strips are made of a magnetic material and substantially L-shaped or inverted L-shaped, and a magnetic side and an abutting side are formed on internal sides of the L-shaped or inverted L-shaped connecting strips.

7. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the connecting strip includes an arc-shaped magnetic embedding groove formed on an internal side of the connecting strip.

8. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the connecting strip has an internal side substantially being an arc body or a semicircular body, and an arc shaped magnetic embedding groove formed on the internal side of the connecting strip.

9. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the connecting strip includes a square magnetic embedding groove formed on an internal side of the connecting strip, and a stop portion formed on a distal side of the magnetic embedding groove.

10. The magnetic lampshade frame assembly of claim 1, wherein the hood has a top portion upwardly protruded with a specific distance out from the upper connecting strip, and a bottom portion downwardly protruded with a specific distance out from the lower connecting strip.
